Cosmic Encounter Cosmic Alliance

Cosmic Alliance, the third expansion for the Fantasy Flight Games' Cosmic Encounter, unleashes 20 exciting alien races - a mix of original and classic ones - right onto your tabletop. Face the terrifying Gorgon, get puzzled by the Schizoid, and feel out - dated against the Cyborg's bionics. This expansion makes the Cosmos even grander. It adds a new white - colored player and has rules for epic eight - player games if you own all three expansions. Moreover, Cosmic Alliance brings a new team rules variant. In this optional Team Cosmic mode, players are randomly paired into teams of two. Without pre - discussing race selection, partners sit across from each other and can offer help. When a player gets a new foreign colony, they can choose to give it to their partner instead.

How to use: First, make sure you have the base Cosmic Encounter game. If you want to play with the new eight - player rules, you need all three expansions. Shuffle the new alien race cards from Cosmic Alliance into the existing deck. For the team rules variant, randomly divide players into pairs. Partners sit opposite each other at the table. During the game, when a player gains a foreign colony, they can decide to give it to their partner. Note: Don't discuss race selection in advance if you're playing the team variant. Also, read through the new rules carefully to avoid confusion. Maintenance: Keep the cards in a card protector to prevent wear and tear. Store the game in a cool, dry place to avoid damage to the components.
